Do you understand the power of media in making political and social change, and do you want to do something about the need for powerful alternative progressive media voices in Canada? If this sounds like you, read on.
rabble.ca, one of Canada’s leading progressive media sources, seeks an editor to tend, coordinate, grow and promote the organization’s dynamic opinions sections on a daily basis, as part of a busy online news organization.
The position
The Opinions Editor is a senior editorial role at rabble.ca, and at 20-24 hours per week, is a daily presence in the news organization.
The Opinions Editor will value timely and clear communication, is organized and is an excellent text editor, with senior digital news media, editing and promotion experience.
The Opinions Editor is a Canadian news buff who thrives on keeping up with and engaging in discussion of mainstream media, in addition to the alternative press.
